Laughter Lounge
Not sure of the correct name. It's the equivalent of the old Murphy's Laughter Lounge on the Dublin Quays (in fact, I'm nearly sure it's not called the Laugher Lounge in Manchester).
great seat, you can bring your food and drinks inside.
obviously if you like this sort of thing.
Not sure where it is either, but I am sure it won't be difficult to find.

Weekend in Manchester
I'm travelling to Manchester next weekend for two nights, just looking for any tips. Accomodation is booked. What I particularly want to know is can I get a public transport ticket that will cover all the buses trams etc for the weekend. Thanks

Hotels (or other accommodation) in Manchester city centre
All,
I was asking a while back about Macclesfield, but it looks like the easiest thing (in this case) to do is to stay somewhere in Manchester (within walking distance of the train station) and get the 20 minute train to Macclesfield.
I had a dig around the archives here for detail on Manchester (thinking there must be a lot of people going over to see a footie game), but it looks like not many people have asked.
So, does anyone know any hotels (or self-catering since it could be for a while) in the centre of Manchester ? I will look up the various websites, but I was looking for some personal recommendations if possible.
Cheers,
z

Manchester Hotel
Just returned from overnight stay in Manchester for an interview. The office (for interview) advised the Ibis hotel as nearby - very clean, quiet and modern if functional. Two hotels in city centre for around £46 (sterling) - not sure if famiily rooms available.
If you're looking for more upmarket with facilities check out
Good Luck

Manchester - what to do + see?
Hi all,
I'm trying to decide between London and Manchester for a weekend away early next year. I've looked up many sites to do with London, but I'm a bit clueless about Manchester. Is it worth a visit? What are the main sights? What about shopping? Also, overall, would Manchester be a cheaper weekend than London, for accommodation and food?
Any replies greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Manchester-shopping
Have been to Leeds many times over the last 5years and have made a point of always going to The Trafford Shopping Centre. Its class. If you are into shopping you will love this place. Its huge, free parking (or buses that drop you practically at the door)loads of shops, restaurants, coffee shops, play area for the kids and a cinema(with at least 9screens as far as i remember).
Its not far from Old Trafford if you are into football at all.Havent actually stayed in the city so thats as much info as i can provide sorry. Seems there are less touristy sights to see in Manchester.

Re: Manchester - what to do + see?
Mmmm Manchester. Not the most attractive city I've ever seen. If you fancy some English countryside get the train from Manchester to Edale which is the spiritual home of the English rambling movement....no, really, do. The new part of the city around the cathedral (this area was damaged in the IRA bombing) is nice - as city centres go. But if you want my advice you'll head to Liverpool......far more interesting. Check out the two amazing cathedrals and mooch around the docks for a bit....Richard and Judy are no longer there though

Stayed in Jurys. Good value, comfortable rooms and nice bar. Also within walking distance of city centre.
Check it out on the web. I was very happy with it.

Re: manchester hotels
newbee2,
Going over myself in March to the Fulham game.
Got all-in package from travelcare.co.uk (Match tickets, 2 Nights city centre hotel accomodation, Match programme, Stadium + Museum tour). 4 of us going in total. They are an affiliated agency and I've found them very good to deal with.
Worked out reasonable enough, for the above + flights with ryanair, came to EUR315 per head.
